Bios reset (CMOS clear) by keyboard - help !!!

I've lost users manual for my KT4V , is there any key combination during boot time or post which can reset bios ???
On ABIT mobo's it is possible , but I don't remember is this possible with KT4V ???

Haven't read anywhere in this forum the keybd. option to reset bios. Think it's not possible in MSI Mobos.

Bios reset with a wireless keyboard

my all in one was upluged from the wall while it was in sleep mode, it came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, it never turned back on and a bios reset was suggested, it did not work with the wireless keyboard and mouse. i plugged a non h.p. keyboard in and still nothing, is a h.p. keyboard required to make this reset? any other suggestions?

Is the computer running when you boot and do you hear the fans working?
The other keyboard you used, is it a USB keyboard.

Help Needed - Step by Step Procedure CMOS / BIOS Reset (MSI GX600)

Hi guys,
I gave my old MSI GX600 laptop to my parents (after I got married) the catch is... they had some virus problems with the laptop (after a few months) and had a technician (just a guy manning a cyber cafe) check the laptop. When they got the laptop back it now has a BIOS password... to make matters worse... the guy gave the wrong password for the BIOS... and insists that - that's the password. (the guy didn't have any rights placing a BIOS password - it's not his laptop to begin with).
So basically we can't boot to Windows since when you turn-on the laptop the first thing you see is the BIOS login. They contacted me to try and resolve the situation. I thought that the best way to reset it to factory default... so I went on the net and looked for ways to do the BIOS reset (factory default) and so far everything I tried still resulted to not having it reset back to faculty default. The BIOS login is still there.
Below are the things I did... any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
1. Uplugged the Laptop
2. Removed the batteries
3. Removed bottom panel
4. Un-attach Internal Battery connector to the mainboard (have no idea how to short it... since there are videos on shorting the board [but that's for MSI motherboards and not for laptops])
5. Left it for a few minutes
6. Connected everything again
7. Re-booted the laptop
Anyhow, it still asks for the BIOS login. I even went to the extent of removing all the connectors I can see on the board. But still to no avail. Anyhow, I have no idea what the guy (technician) did to the laptop but it still continues to ask for the BIOS password. Any help regarding this matter... the proper way or procedure of doing it would be greatly appreciated. I just need to remove the BIOS password requirement that is now implemented on the laptop.
Thanks in advanced!

Reseting CMOS, BIOS, Fingerprinting access for a Lenovo ThinkPad T60P 2007-8EU

Greetings,
My machine has been so hacked that I have now disabled Blue Tooth, Infrared and Cingular SIM access to it by removing the hardware components. I also shut down the funcionality in the BIOS. Only Ethernet and WiFi are left. In order to do this I had to gut the machine and extract components like the SIM card, and a couple of chips.
After I put it back together, when I boot it I get messages that the security system has been tampered with. So, I tried to configure BIOS and in spite of removing the secondary battery, settings related to security persist. Are they stored in CMOS or elsewhere. Thinkgs like Paraphrase.
However, my fingerprints gone and I cannot restart the security chip features. So, my question, in case anyone is out there, is, how do I reset CMOS, reload BIOS to a decent version, and then re-enable the security system involving the security chip and figerprinting?
All of my problems began after I did a stupid suggested BIOS update.... Duh!
Anyway, I hope I can get some help from someone short of taking the machine in. I hate to say it, but I never get it back the way I want so I might as well do it myself. As a CS major, I think I can hack it.
Thank you and regards,
Jean-Pierre

Greetings,
The motherboard is not useless. After I received the message indicating that the security chip had been tampered with, I still went forward, entered BIOS and reconfigured it to my specs. Then I booted the machine and everything came up fine. After being in CS for nearly three decades, I know some error messages don´t affect functionality.
However, like I said, I still want to completely clear CMOS memory, and install a good version of the BIOS as I can pinpoint the flash update suggested by the system, and which I stupidly accepted, as one source of problems. I would like to roll back to factory BIOS, or the latest stable version.
As far as the security chip, I have seen no mention of it in the Documentation, don´t know where it is located and I did not remove it. I did remove the BlueTooth Chip, the Cingular Wireless Chip and its corresponding SIM as well as the modem Chip.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre

Computer Starting, but no display/keyboard/mouse, but work after CMOS clear

I have an MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard, intel i5-3570K CPU, 16 GB of ram, a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 GPU, XFX PRO650W Core Edition PSU, and am using a 550 VA UPS.
My computer powers up with no posts, all CPU indicator lights are lit, and the display, mouse, and keyboard get no signal, but when I read some posts about solving this problem I cleared my CMOS with the button on the back, and when the computer powers back up signal is sent to my monitor, mouse and keyboard, but upon continuing or running setup the previous behavior continues.
Help would be appreciated!

I ain't really be able to help you. The only two things i could think of are an empty battery or a faulty board. But for that matter wait for others to answer your post.
But what you are describing sounds like what i experienced five years ago, when i set up a new system with a MSI P35 Neo3-F. I fortunatly bought board, cpu and RAM from the same vendor. Same as you i had to reset CMOS in order to do anything useful with that computer. I think i had to reset everytime i turned on the pc, but not for reboots. Althoug i'm not sure about that.
Besides that i had occasional failures in Windows which is why i did run MemTest86+ from CD. I got some faulty memory addresses in that run and thought the RAM were to blame, but in further passes of memtest i got different addresses. This i mailed to the vendor and i told him, that i'd had no means of figuring out, if the board, the cpu or the RAM was faulty. They told me to send in those three to figure it out themselfs and to give a replacement for the broken one, which turned out to be the mainboard.
After that i still got failures - can't remember what failures - and could make out that the cpu wasn't working correctly. I still believe the broken board did some damage to the cpu sometime i tried to start the PC without resetting the CMOS while maybe having random values in CMOS.
I cannot say that this is fact, but for the vendor it was reasonable enough to also replace the cpu and since then i'm quite cautious when it's about a board that might be trying with random CMOS content.
I don't want to frighten you. I just want to say don't try to much without resetting the CMOS as long as it needs to be resetted all the time.
At least til someone can ensure, that my interpretation of my experience must be wrong.
Greetings,
Micha.

Do i have to reinstall XP if I reset cmos or upgrade bios?

Do i have to reinstall XP if I reset cmos ?
Same question for upgrading the bios ?

Quote from: MadsV on 20-February-05, 00:38:00

WHat about bios update from 1.3 ? - I'd really hate to have to reinstall XP..
Then perhaps it's time to work out a backup strategy?

X58 Pro Won't post unless CMOS cleared.

Hi Guys!
I recently assembled a new system, with the following components:
MSI X58 Pro
i7 950
2x Strontium DDR3 4GB 1333MHz [SRT4G86U1-H9M]
ASUS EN8600GT 512MB
Sunpro ATX-550W PSU
When I attempt to boot, the system powers up, all fans, optical & HDDs run for about 10 seconds before turning off then restarting and doing the same thing 5 seconds later. There is no there is no display, no system beeps, the keyboard lights don't flash etc. However, the system will post and boot fine if I hold the CMOS Clear button down while I press the power button, which means the the CMOS must be cleared every time the system is booted, which is very irritating. I've breadboarded the motherboard, it does the exact same thing when on a piece of cardboard with any combination of hardware, including from bare CPU, one stick of RAM, graphics card and keyboard. I've swapped the PSU with a lower capacity one (it's all I had) and the same things happens. The system performs fine once booted. I have rum memtest86 for a couple of hours without error and flashed to the latest BIOS but it has had no affect.
Has anybody experienced/solved a similar problem? I'll try using different RAM or graphics when I can borrow them off a friend but at the moment I'm all out of ideas :/ This is doing my head in!
Sorry for a massive first post, any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I should also mention, the system restarts fine without requiring a CMOS clearing, however when it's turned off and left for more than 10 seconds, it requires clearing of the CMOS.

Changing the DRAM voltage (Including to 1.5V) results in the system shutting down when you save and exit the BIOS but not instantly powering back on like normal, it won't restart until the CMOS is reset.
In that case, leave the voltage setting as it is and only make sure that the memory clock speed is manually set to DDR3-1066 [again, use one memory module only for testing].

+5V: 38A
+3.3V: 28A
+12V: 17A
If there really is only one +12V rail with an amperage limit of only 17A, then you should immediately stop using your system with that PSU installed (regardless of whether or not the PSU is the direct cause for your problem). An quality 550W PSU can deliver at least 35-40A on the +12V circuit. The mere fact that your device is limited to 17A on this most important rail (=12V x 17A = 205W only!) either means that your PSU is very, very old or that your PSU is an el-cheapo device of questionable quality. You should get rid of it and get something decent.

Bios Password in A305..Please help..URGENT!!!!

Hi...please help guys..i have a problem with my friends laptop..he accidentally change the bios passwod and forgot it what he put on it..the model is Satellite A305-s6905..i already open it and look for some jumper setting to reset it..but no success..i cant find a word like CMOS clear or CMOS reset..i already download the flash bios on this site so that the bios will reset but..the problem is ,it wont boot first on the DVDROM because you must enter first the password...please please help me...i want to show it on a accredited toshiba repair center but their are asking for the orignal reciept and that reciept is already gone 1 year ago...i wish you could help me guys...our thesis is almost near and we cant finish the thesis because its inside that laptop...

There are thousands of laptops that get stolen annually. To make sure that it is not a stolen laptop, the Toshiba service places demand that you show some documentation proving its yours. One way to do that is to register your computer. In that way you can prove your ownership without having the reciept. The Toshiba techs can access the Registered Computer database and verify that the person at the counter is the legitimate owner even without a receipt.
Did you use a credit card? Maybe the credit card company would have the invoice for your computer, along with the serial number of the computer. Or what about the dealer that sold the computer? Maybe they have a record of the sale, along with the serial nrumber of the computer.
Just think if your computer had been stolen. You wouldn't want a Toshiba tech to remove the Bios password on your computer just because the thief had "forgotten" the password?

K7N2 - System won't boot (CMOS clear does nothing)

I was trying to OC with the help of a friend. AIDA32 showed my processor running at 2000MHz (7.5 x 267). I was told that putting CPU Ratio to 12.0 and FSB to 166 would get me no OC, but that this is how it should be (?). Since I was being careful (cause of past experiences), my friend told me to set it at 7.0 and 166. Just to be safe. Anyway, I made the change and after that when I press my power button, the computer turns on but nothing happens. No signal is sent to the monitor, neither does the floppydrive do its friendly sound like usual. I was told to use CMOS clear, so I changed the jumper into clear mode, waited a couple minutes and put it back. Nothing happens. I then tried changing some parts, put a 900MHz TB in, another GPU and even tried another monitor (desperate at this time!). Now, I was under the impression that CMOS clear should do the trick, that I was safe. But since this happened last night, I even left the jumper on clear over night. Still nothing happens. What am I to do? I would greatly appreciate any help, I am totally lost here.
My system: XP 2400+ (Thoroughbred-B), MSI K7N2 (nForce2), 2x256 Kingston Hyper-X, Sapphire Radeon 9800SE AiW, WinXP Pro. Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S. A similar thing happened before, which mysteriously got fixed by changing parts left and right. I also checked a post on the forum about the multipliers being weird in the BIOS (that's what my friend thought too).

your cpu uses 15 as a multiplier so you cannot select lower multipliers without the wire trick
and if its new evan that does not work

KT4V FSB increase lead to Blank scren and reset cmos still nothing

I just recently purchased a KT4V to upgrade from my old turbo 2 limited. I really wanted to gain DDR. I was playing around with the FSB and tried moving it up closer to 200mhz. It worked fine at 133 and then I moved it to 166 and rebooted and now I get no monitor display at all. I shorted jumper1 to clear my cmos and still nothing. This is not good. Does anyone know how I can get my computer back to life? I am an IT admin.
System A (Problem System) Windows 2000 SP3
KT4V

sure you reset the BIOS? theses boards are quite good at not letting go. Power supply unplugged and "power on" pushed in a couple of times with the BIOS reset jumpers engaged? If not do a forced BIOS update.

CMOS Settings Wrong - NEED HELP FAST

I've had my MSI K8T Neo FSR Motherboard for about 3 weeks now. It booted up fine with windows xp and then all of the sudden on a boot up it brought up an american megatrends sign that said "CMOS Settings Wrong" I thought it was just the battery and it was bad because of a bad engineering so i matched batteries and radioshack and bought a new one. Worked fine after resetting CMOS settings but after the turn of the date THE CMOS SETTINGS HAD TO BE RESET again and again, and everyday after this. Does anyone know my problem?
System SPECS:
MSI K8T Neo FSR Motherboard
RAIDMAX Cobra w/420w psu

Artec 16x DVD ROM DRIVE
80 GB SATA Hard Drive (1)

512 Premium RAM
Athlon 64 2800+ w/512k cache
Can anyone help me?

Hi
The rig won't run slower at DDR333, that does not control clock, that is done by northbrigde within the CPU. It will depend on the quality control at stickmakers, as to how the RAM performs. The AMD64 demands standards that most stick makers have not bothered with, but advertise their products with them.
You can try memtest86 and see if any errors are reported, if you get a lot of errors over 512MB then stick 2 is suspect, and vice versa, if you get errors run each on its own. You should get less errors at 333, and a more stable system. You can also raise the DDR volts in Volts/ Freq in bios, the box will go red when you reach max recommended volts, try it 1 setting under the red.
Bios 1.9B2 is here

Resetting a cleared item

Hi all
I am trying to reset a cleared item through FBRA and am being encountered by two pop up boxes. The first one is askin me as SHOULD OPEN CORRESPONDENCE BE DEACTIVATED?? AND IF I PRESS YES OR NO itz giving me another pop up box as SYSTEM LOCK ERROR: INFORM SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR!!. can someone pls help me through this am stuck at this. This is an urgent to be addressed >>
Thank you in advance

Yes - thank you.
However, once FF_5 has loaded the BAI - the postings become a 2 step process. Step 1 below is the part that reprocessing in FEBAN does. This is the part that I can't get to re-process - even after editing table FEBEP. I must be missing a field - though I compared it against one that wasn't cleared and they matched. I can do step 1 manually via FB05 - but we're going to be doing a lot of these - and I would really like to make that work.
1 - the payment clearing from the checks out to the bank cash account
2 - the encashment (which has to be manually set)

What does it mean,resetting of clearing document and reversing of clearing?

Hi SAPians,
Suppose my clearing doc.no is say 100000.if i reverse it thru fb08,system will generate new doc no.m i rite?and the accounting impact will be like debit items will become credit and viceversa.but my doubt is if i only reset the clearing doc.no by FBRA then what will happen and what will be the accounting impact ? and what will happen if i reset with reverse the clearing doc. and what will be the accounting impact?
Regards,
Sumeya offrin

Dear Sumeya,
You have written "my clearing doc.no is say 100000.if i reverse it thru fb08,system will generate new doc no.m i rite?"
You cannot reverse a cleared document in fb08.
Now let me answer you other questions.
Say for example you have posted a document no. 100005. Then using FB08, you Reverse it and a new CLEARING document no. is generated, say doc. no. 100006. So out here whatever entry posted in doc. no. 100005 gets reversed in document no. 100006. (ie. debit becomes credit & vice versa). This document no. 100006 is your clearing document. Now, both documents, ie. 100005 & 100006 contains no open items. Both documents are cleared against each other.
Now when you only reset the cleared document no. 100006, it becomes an open line item document. There are no financial impacts. But, when you reset and reverse the cleared document no. 100006, a new document number is generated, say for example, document no. 100007 which is a reverse entry of document number 100006. Most importantly, document nos 100006 and 100007 gets cleared against each other. Both, document number 100006 & 100007 are cleared documents. There is a financial impact out here and the original document no. 100005 becomes an open line item document.
It will be a little confusing if you read it once, but put this example on a paper & then analyse, am sure your doubts will be cleared.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Amit Maniar.
